Rebecca Pronsky & Lucy Wainwright Roche

Rebecca Pronsky may be Brooklyn born, raised, and based but the twangy folk she creates on her Nine Mile Records sophomore disc 'Viewinder' (release date: April 19, 2011) sounds more at home in the deep woods and green pastures of Parsonsfield, Maine where it was recorded. Rebecca spent two weeks holed up with her band creating the sweeping soundscapes that dominate 'viewfinder'. The songs convincingly range from broodingly ambient to upbeat twang.

Randall Kromm & Tom Smith

A lifelong musician, Randall Kromm reinvented himself as a folksinger in 2009, playing at coffeehouses, open mikes, and clubs in the greater Boston area. Since then, he has performed a sold-out show at Club Passim, New England's premier folk venue, released his first CD (Water Wheel) and received a multitude of accolades from the music community, including Christine Lavin and Don White.
